connecting the digital and the physical to create art as experience

Touch Sensor version 1 - Nick Gentle

My prototype is a sketch at this point. I wasn't able to manipulate the touch sensors in the way I was hoping, so I made a sketch to represent it anyway. It's essentially layed out for your hand to fit comfortably on the sensors; one finger on each of the 5 sensors. As each finger was pressed upon the sensor, the LED would light up, each a different color (or at least as many as I have access to). My hope was that depending on how firmly you pressed your finger to the sensor, the LED would shine brighter or dimmer. Hopefully I'll come up with some breakthrough that will lead me in the next direction with this idea.
